Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Joshua Buatsi Can Beat Dmitry Bivol; His Next Fight Must Be A Step Up

[JakeTheBoxer]

Lol, Buatsi fought basically nobody. And he doesn`t even look great fighting nobodies. Easy fight for Bivol.

He should go to Warren. He matches his fighters together, e.g Yarde-Arthur, Dubois-Joyce etc. Also he has the best light heavyweights in the country.

Hearn had Buatsi, Callum Johnson and Hosea Burton and none of them fought each other not even once.

He hasn't even had a few lacklustre performances lol. He's just been inactive.

When I watched Buatsi vs Ford I was blown away that Buatsi had gotten so much hype and praise.

Yeah maybe lacklustre is the wrong word, But you can see in some performances he still has levels to go through if he needs.

I’ve never been sold on Buatsi, he seems to have good power knocking out stiffs, but so do Yarde, Callum Johnson etc. So what does it matter?

Buatsi is very easy to hit, no head movement. Even that journeyman he fought last week was hitting him with left hooks.

he won’t get away with that at a good level.

This is something I'd more expect to come out of Johnny Nelsons mouth.

He can. He even challenged Canelo to a 168 fight. Outside of that though, no real point to moving down and dominating 168 when he's already been so dominant in a division he's small in

He isn’t dominant at light heavyweight

[Satir]

how about Bolotniks, he's exactly in between the british and world level - wbo european champ

[KTFOKING]

Hearn better listen to Hunter here and not just throw him right into the fire. Hunter said he could challenge for a title in about three fights and that sounds about right. Throw him in with Richards next and then someone like Browne/Jack/Pascal before putting him in with Bivol.

Buatsi isn't even willing to face his domestic rivals. He only seems to pick off massive underdogs , short notice too.not even letting them have a full training camp

Bivol would take him apart.

Just trying to promote and hype Buatsi. I haven't watched their most recent fights but I'd have Buatsi as a huge under dog vs Bivol. Lucky puncher's chance is all I'd give him.

Bivol is the most proven guy at 175. He beat Smith jr, Pascal, Barrera. Joe Smith jr. was an easy fight for him.

I guess he will face Smith jr. - Beterbiev winner for jr. heavyweight supremacy?
